How honest are (MM) HF recruiters?
To what extent can a headhunter who recruits on behalf of (MM) HFs be trusted with regards to the following: - the current & historical performance of the pod or fund in question - the PM's actual feedback of me post-interview (assuming I was rejected) - whether he's circulating my resume among different funds against my consent
> - whether he's circulating my resume among different funds against my consent
I once "worked" with a HH which sent my CV to literally every single place while I told him explicitely that I want to it to be sent to Citadel only.
I don't trust recruiters in general and try to to avoid them (I know, it's hard). I usually ask my network if they have worked with this recruiter before
Was the guy who fucked you from a big agency or small one?
I would say it is more a niche one in London, but they succesfully placed someone from my immediate network!
wait why didn't you talk to citadel's in house recruiters?
It was during my PhD, I was not aware of the fact that most companies have its own recruiters. This firm was the first one to contact me, so I replied them and started processes.
I had a colleague who was fired when a HH sent his CV everywhere and it eventually reached his own boss.
I wouldn't trust a recruiter with any of these things unless you already have an established long term relationship with them.
In terms of distributing CVs make sure you write an email that this CV should only be sent to firms XYZ and that the recruiter needs to get your written permission to send them somewhere else. If you have doubts ask them to send you an email in which they list all firms to which they have sent your CV and keep a record of this. With all those data protection laws you can cause a lot of trouble for them if they lie about this.
